3.A. School Board Recognition - Dr. Jason Simeroth, YPS Superintendent
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Rationale:
January is School Board Recognition Month and an opportunity to honor Yukon Public School Board members for their dedication to children and schools. Their job is to adopt the policies that govern district operations, hire a superintendent, and work with the superintendent to establish a vision, ensure schools are accountable to the community and strongly advocate continuous improvement in student learning. That job entails many meetings; numerous school functions to attend; reams of reports, agendas, proposals and other information to read and study; and a host of difficult decisions to make. Although they wear many hats in the workday world, school board members put on a collective hat when they get down to the business of leading their school districts. Board members must pull together as a team toward a common goal—helping students achieve. Though they may individually disagree on certain issues, their role as a board is to consistently strive toward that goal. Board members contribute hundreds of hours, each year, leading their districts. Whether it be crafting policies, hiring top-notch administrators, listening to staff and student concerns or recognizing outstanding programs, board members always keep their eyes on the goal of student achievement. The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours school board members spend leading their districts. They also work hard at seminars and training sessions to keep abreast of the latest trends in educational leadership, are deeply involved in community activities and spend many hours in the schools and at extracurricular events. Their love for learning, and concern and caring for students, staff and community, drives board members’ desire to lead so students can achieve. In recognition of their dedicated service, January is designated School Board Recognition Month. This is a time to show appreciation and begin to better understand how local trustees work together to provide a better future for our children. In January, join with others from throughout our district and state to salute the men and women who provide grassroots governance of public schools. Make a special effort to tell each school board member that his or her hard work has been noticed and is truly appreciated. |

Rationale:
Southwest Foods Excellence is proud to announce that Yukon High School is being presented with the School of Excellence award. This makes Yukon Public Schools the first ever two time winner of this award. The team’s biggest strength is that they put the students first in everything they do. On the day of the Quality Assurance Monitor’s site visit, they were without gas for two hours and short staffed by two team members. They pulled together and were able to complete the entire menu and still have the kitchen looking spectacular.
